Due to the ongoing changes within the travel industry, itrek is no longer selling insurance products. We wish all our valued customers the very best on their future adventures! If you are looking for a travel insurance policy and are travelling for a period of less than 12 months you may be eligible for cover through our sister brand 1Cover.
Are you an Australian resident heading overseas on a working holiday, youth mobility or international experience (IEC) program?
Do you have a two year visa for Canada, The UK or USA and need a long term travel insurance policy?
With itrek's Long Term Policy, cover is available for the full two years of your working holiday visa. So you don't have to worry about extending your policy for trips longer than 12 months. Just set it and forget it. That's peace of mind for you and your family.
Plus, with our range of add-on packs for Winter Sports, Adventure Actvities and Trekking, you can take your trip to the next level.
Need cover for less than two years? No worries! Head to the homepage for a quote.
Here are just a few of the top benefits of our long term travel insurance policy. For a full list of inclusions, see the table of benefits at the bottom of the page and consider the PDS.
Most travel insurance policies only provide cover for a maximum of 12 months. And even if longer cover is available for working holidays, some other insurers will make you manually extend your policy for trips longer than 12 months. Pretty annoying, right?
What’s more, if you’re going to Canada as part of the IEC program, you need to be covered for the full duration of your two year visa before you can enter the country. That’s why our long term policy automatically includes two full years of cover, right from the get-go!
You’ve probably heard horror stories about the sky high costs of healthcare overseas. And what if you also needed emergency evacuation back to Australia? Don’t stress! With our long term travel insurance policy, you get 24/7 Emergency Medical Assistance and unlimited cover for Medical and Hospital Expenses including Medical Transport and Repatriation.
Let’s face it. Leaving your family behind for two years can be tough. But what if you had to dash back home if something hectic happened to them? The good news is we provide cover for a trip home due to a family emergency. Plus, coverage is also included for the resumption of your journey back to the place where it was interrupted.*
If you’ve got a two year visa for Canada, The UK or USA, you might be eager to explore neighbouring countries. As long as the country is within the region on your policy, you’ll be automatically covered for shorter side trips.
For example, if you purchase our Worldwide excluding Americas option, this exclusion would still apply even for short trips to the Americas. But if you purchase our Worldwide Policy, you’ll be sweet to travel anywhere except Syria, Afghanistan, North Korea and Iran. Now that’s flexibility!
When you’re travelling overseas on a long term trip, you want to make sure that your luggage AND electronic devices are covered. Whether it’s your phone, laptop, tablet or camera, our long term travel insurance automatically includes cover for your electronic devices.*
Hiring a car or campervan gives you the opportunity to ditch public transport and do some exploring on your own schedule. But don’t make the rookie error of getting stung with high excess reduction fees on your rental vehicle. With itrek’s Long Term Policy, you’re covered for up to $4,000 of rental vehicle excess.
Whether it's Banff or Big Bear, you can hit the slopes knowing you're covered with our Winter Sports Pack. It covers damaged equipment, piste closures, and more
From abseiling to zip-lining: with the Adventure Pack, there's a huge range of
For the wanderer amongst us, we've created a special level of cover. If you're going exploring and off the beaten track, this one's for you.
Yes, to be eligible for our Long Term Policy you must be an Australian resident with an approved two year (24 month) visa for either Canada, The UK or USA (and you must not have started your journey before purchasing your policy). Please note that you will need to provide proof of your visa in the event of a claim.
If you purchase the Worldwide Excluding Americas option, that means you won't be covered for travel to the USA, Canada, South America, Latin America, Hawaii or the Caribbean. But if you purchase the Worldwide option, you'll be covered for travel to all countries except Syria, Afghanistan, North Korea and Iran. Countries where the Australian government or any offical body has issued non-essential travel warnings are also excluded (see the PDS for details).
If you return home to Australia during your journey, your policy will suspend while you're at home. But returning home does not alter the end date of your policy and it will remain valid until the end date shown on your certificate of insurance. Full terms surrounding your Period of Cover are outlined in the PDS.
If you're planning a side trip to another country, make sure that it's within the region on your policy. For example, if you purchase our Worldwide Excluding Americas, you won't be covered for trips to the Americas (i.e. USA, Canada, South America, Latin America, Hawaii and the Caribbean).
Purchasing our Long Term Policy automatically covers you while you're working as long as you're not participating in manual labour (please see the PDS for full terms and definitions).
If your pre-existing medical condition(s) is automatically covered (refer to the criteria in the PDS), you do not need to declare it under the Long Term Cover Policy. Unfortunately, if your pre-existing medical condition(s) is not automatically covered, you are ineligible to purchase the Long Term Cover Policy.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer cover for pre-existing medical condition(s) for the Long Term Policy, except for automatically covered conditions, if the criteria is met. If your pre-existing medical condition(s) is not automatically covered, you are unable to apply for cover under the Long Term Policy. Please see the PDS for more details.
